DTCC2026-09-30 15:25:26DTCC, Citi and Swift say interoperability is key to scaling tokenizationThe Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, Citi and Swift have jointly released a white paper titled The Connectivity of Digital Finance, arguing that interoperability will be essential if tokenization is to move beyond pilot programs and scale in real-world finance. According to DTCC’s post on X, the paper says tokenization is shifting from experimentation toward implementation, but its full value will depend on linking platforms so that assets, cash and data can move efficiently across traditional and emerging financial infrastructure. The paper describes the future financial system as a hybrid model in which legacy systems, private networks and public blockchains operate together. It also says programmability can embed rules and automation directly into digital assets, supporting automated asset servicing, compliance controls and event-driven payments. Combined with interoperability, those features could improve collateral mobility, liquidity management efficiency and market resilience, especially during periods of market stress. At the same time, the paper says institutional-grade digital markets still need clear regulation, legal certainty, investor protection, operational resilience and sound governance.80
QNT2026-09-28 05:04:24QNT jumps about 158% in a week as bank tokenized deposit narrative fuels attentionQNT has become a closely watched token after market discussions linked its rally to Quant’s reported role in a tokenized bank deposit network. According to the cited discussion, The Clearing House selected Quant to provide technical support for the network, with Quant serving as the interoperability and orchestration layer. The same discussion said the network has backing from 25 large U.S. banks, while seven banks in the U.K., including HSBC, Barclays and Standard Chartered, were said to have already completed real tokenized deposit transactions through Quant. The market read those developments as a sign that demand for putting traditional financial assets on-chain is moving from narrative to implementation. QNT was said to have risen about 158% over the past week, with the price at one point moving from around $70 to near $370. Some observers argued Quant’s value proposition is tied less to public-chain traffic and more to middleware and interoperability for bank-to-bank asset tokenization. Others said the move was amplified by an institutional narrative and a liquidity vacuum, while warning that the sharp pullback has made chasing the rally notably riskier.310
The Clearing 2026-09-26 00:39:18The Clearing House picks Quant to power interoperability for tokenized deposit networkThe Clearing House has chosen blockchain interoperability firm Quant to provide the interoperability and transaction management layer for its onchain money initiative, according to Techub News, citing NewsBTC. The project is designed to build a network that allows financial institutions to clear and settle tokenized deposits while linking into the existing RTP and CHIPS payment rails. Participating institutions are expected to gain access in the first half of 2027. The Clearing House, which operates core U.S. financial infrastructure, said its network processes more than $2 trillion each day across transfers, ACH, checks, and real-time payments. Within the planned system, Quant will coordinate the movement of tokenized deposits between participating financial institutions and connect the network to existing fiat payment channels. The system is expected to support corporate treasury operations, liquidity management, cross-border payments, and digital asset settlement.290

ARK Invest2026-09-05 11:18:29ARK Invest Research Director: LayerZero's Interoperability Business Could Reach Nine-Figure ARRLorenzo Valente, Director of Digital Asset Research at ARK Invest, shared his views on social media platform X regarding the evolution of blockchain infrastructure. He stated that since the emergence of L1s, application chains, and rollup-centric roadmaps, messaging and interoperability protocols have become critical infrastructure. As more assets are brought on-chain, the demand for universal interoperability is set to increase exponentially. Valente specifically highlighted LayerZero, a cross-chain interoperability protocol, predicting that its interoperability business alone could soon reach a nine-figure annual recurring revenue (ARR). He also noted that the team has more developments in the pipeline. This reflects the growing importance of interoperability solutions in the multi-chain landscape.740
Optimism2026-09-04 02:26:23Optimism Superchain Interoperability Upgrade Goes Live on Sepolia TestnetOptimism has activated its Superchain interoperability upgrade on the Sepolia testnet, enabling developers to test native cross-L2 messaging between OP Stack chains. The upgrade marks a milestone for the testnet but is not yet active on mainnet. Sepolia provides a safer environment for testing before mainnet deployment.820
